Lyrics

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bagsI've come to know that memoriesWere the best things you ever hadThe summer shone beat down on bony backsSo far from home where the ocean stoodDown dust and pine cone tracks

We slept like dogs down by the fire sideAwoke to the fog where all around usThe bloom of summertime

We stoodSteady as the stars in the woodsSo happy-heartedAnd the warmth rang true inside these bonesAs the old pine fell we sangJust to bless the morning.

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bagsI've come to know the friends around youAre all you'll always have

Smoke in my lungs, the echoed stoneCareless and young, free as the birds that flyWith weightless souls now.

We stoodSteady as the stars in the woodsSo happy-heartedAnd the warmth rang true inside these bonesWe stoodSteady as the stars in the woodsSo happy-heartedAnd the warmth rang true inside these bonesAs the old pine fell we sangJust to bless the morning.
